Mason UK designed and supplied the building isolation bearings for this large and prestigious development, which included an isolated retained façade.

Oxsonics Air Sprung Base – Oxford
Oxsonics representatives contacted us for help to solve a vibrations disturbance being caused by construction work nearby. The sensitive equipment they use requires very high levels of precision and so any disturbances can cause their results and experiments to be false. We therefore installed a high-performance system utilising Mason Air Springs.
